MAYWOOD, Ill. (CBS) — A former Buddhist priest from the southwest suburbs has been brought back to the Chicago area to face charges he sexually assaulted a teenage girl.

As WBBM Newsradio’s Bernie Tafoya reports, Camnong Bual Ubol, 61 – whose name has also appeared as Camnong Boa-Ubol – flew back to the Chicago area from Alaska overnight with two Cook County sheriff’s investigators.

Barbara Blaine of the Survivors’ Network of Those Abused by Priests told WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller last year that Ubol began sexually abusing the girl when she was 13.

Blaine contacted sheriff’s police in October, and detectives discovered that a paternity test had shown that Ubol did father a child with the teenage girl. But the test was taken in 2010 and never turned over to authorities.

At the time, Sheriff’s police could not find Ubol. They learned that his last known address was the Wat Buddhavipassana Temple in Long Beach, Calif., but had been removed from that temple and was living in Anchorage, Alaska.

I’m a lifelong Chicagoan and could never see myself living anywhere else (except maybe Hawaii!).
I was born on the North Side in 1958 but have lived all but the first three months of my life on the South Side. That said, thank (or is that curse?)...
